This was my first hostel experience and I evaluate it as very good. The atmosphere is really friendly thanks to those cool guys at the reception. I stayed in a big dorm for about 14 people and it was just OK, no partying in the room at night. The only disturbance was the snoring of some of the guys. People... more

The hostel is kind of rough and shaggy. It's a lot of fun if you like to party but not so fun if you're just trying to rest since the social areas and the dorms are barely separated.

Very interesting hostel... Located in a good neighborhood. Mitte is definitely geared towards nightlife for 20-somethings, and is an easy walk to Museum Island and the rest of historic central Berlin. About the hostel: We stayed in a 7-person mixed dorm room, but never had more than 5 people, even though we stayed during Spring Break. The beds are comfortable,... more

This was my first hostel experience aside from the borderline halfway house in New Orleans. In otherwords, this was my first quintessential hostel. The location is great! You're about as central as you can get. I was there on a Tuesday and Wednesday night so I don't really know anything about a nightclub downstairs. I know there was some sort... more

Easy to find hostel, friendly staff. Very good breakfast for 3euro. The nightclub downstairs is loud but didn't bother any of us. We had a large room to ourselves and it was clean and comfortable. The only negative, a couple of showers didn't work, but when they did they were very good. more

We were a group of six and stayed in the "flat" for a weekend — incredible value for €100/night. Great space with huge terrace and high ceilings, huge bathroom and modern kitchen. Reception staff were very friendly, and there are some great bars in the neighbourhood. more
